Notes: | In 1995, a group of writers, directors and actors gathered on Manhattan's Lower East Side for what was supposed to be a one-time-only event: write, direct, produce and perform new plays with the span of 24 hours. More than a decade and just over 300 plays later, The 24 Hour Plays have been produced on Broadway, in London, Los Angeles, Chicago and across the globe. | |||||
| Josie arrives home to find that her entire flat has been cleaned out by her ex-fiance. Luckily, a voice from above sends her help in the form of two free-lancers, though Josie has no idea what services exactly they are meant to provide. Still, Terence and Margery are there to facilitate, to enable, to plant the seeds and watch them bloom. A play about the wonderful surprises that life brings when you let go. | |||||

Hedda, still mourning for the father she adored, returns from honeymoon with a husband she doesn't love, to a flat and a pregnancy she doesn't want. Trapped by her past and terrified of her future, bored by her life but too cowardly to walk away from it, she finds herself caught between three men. And in the end, something has to give. . . | |||||

There's rioting on the streets and the police are onto him but Saul's meaty little realm may be the last place to seek sanctuary. . . | |||||
